omy Hernandez of Rialto and Jacqueline Friedel of Covina have found much success within their selflessness, as they have formed the Inland Empire’s first COVID Mask Force and donated over 7,000 3ply facemasks, thus far.

Hernandez, a stay-at-home mother, was in a local grocery store on March 20 and recounts breaking down in tears after witnessing the lack of facemasks present.

“I broke down in tears and when I went home I asked myself, ‘What can I do to help?’ I know that I can sew,” said Hernandez.

She then logged into neighborhood social media platform NextDoor and asked if any healthcare professionals, front line employees, the elderly or those with compromised immune systems were in need of a faceMask Force, cont. on next pg.

indings of San Bernardino County’s annual Point-InTime Count (PITC), which took place on Jan. 23, calls for cities and the County to recognize the recent evolution of homelessness as a human services crisis, and to work together to provide much needed services and housing.

The data collected found a 19.9% increase in the county’s homeless population compared to the 2019 count when 2,607 people were identified, compared to 3,125 this year. Of the additional 518 homeless counted, 470 are identified as unsheltered and 48 sheltered individuals are temporarily housed in shelters, motels, or through transitional housing programs.

“Our efforts to end homelessness must remain a top priority countywide,” said Vice Chair of the San Bernardino County Board of Supervisors Josie Gonzales, who is also chair of the PITC, cont. on next pg.

County Superintendent Ted Alejandre appointed to K-12 High Speed Network Advisory Board

S

an Bernardino County Superintendent of Schools Ted Alejandre has been appointed by California Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond to the K-12 High Speed Network Advisory Board.

Alejandre's appointment to the board is effective immediately through June 30, 2022.

The K-12 High Speed Network is a state program funded by the California Department of Education to provide the California K12 community with network Mask Force mask.

“I sent out that message on NextDoor and I was instantly flooded with messages. It got to the point that I had to create a spreadsheet to track and log how many masks were needed, just to stay organized,” continued Hernandez.

On March 21, Hernandez received a message from another community advocate, Friedel, who inquired about assisting in the operations of the initiative.

“I just love Zomy’s story and I myself have seen the astronomical need for masks, especially in the healthcare sector. I can’t sew, but I knew that I could assist in the PITC Interagency Council on Homelessness (ICH). “Yes, these numbers are disheartening; but the Point–In-Time Count data is the realistic key to helping us adjust our strategies to combat this pervasive problem.”

The City of San Bernardino had the highest number of homeless individuals - 1,056, followed by Victorville - 451, Redlands - 186, Colton - 136, Fontana - 116, and Rialto 115.

“The data gives us the evidence of the actual state of homelessness and is the impetus for us to be innovative in our plans to provide the needed wraparound services and housing, while aggressively going after any and all funding available that will enable us to get individuals and families, especially those at high risk, off the streets,” said Gonzales.

connectivity, teaching and learning application coordination, and videoconferencing support. The mission of the K-12 High Speed Network advisory board is to enable educators, students and staff across the state to have access to reliable high-speed networks that have the capacity to deliver high quality online resources to support teaching and learning, and promote academic achievement.

Alejandre expressed his enthusiasm for the appointment saying, "This is an exciting time of transoverall operations, and even packaging and shipping,” said Friedel.

The immediate hurdle that both Hernandez and Friedel were faced with was a lack of immediate access to elastic.

“I have a background in theater and contacted every single professor and anyone I have a connection with, literally hunting down elastic for these masks. I drove all the way to Pasadena to pick up a supply from my former professor,” continued Friedel.

Friedel shared that through her outreach, many of her connections, including her former choir professor volunteered to assist in sewing.

It was around this time frame “I am especially grateful to all of the cities, the H.O.P.E. Team, and the volunteers for their participation and dedication to Point-InTime Count year after year,” added Gonzales.

For a second year, the County used the ESRI Survey 123 for ArcGIS technology to gather realtime data. Approximately 600 volunteers used targeted mapping provided by the County Sheriff’s Homeless Outreach Proactive Enforcement (H.O.P.E.) Team to identified homeless encampments, to connect with the homeless, and to conduct the online interviews.

Data sought to identify how many persons became homeless for the first time during the past 12 months, as well as those who have a life-threatening health condition, and/or had been released from jail or prison during the past 12 months. Of those 1,517 interviewed, 434 (28.6%) are first time

formation in K-12 education. The impact new technologies are having on education across the state is tremendous-particularly as we shift to distance learning. I look forward to helping our public schools stay on the forefront of these exciting innovations."

Thurmond remarked, "I am confident that you will be a valuable member of the advisory board.

Thank you for your willingness to serve in this capacity."

Today, the COVID Mask Force consists of its founder Hernandez, Operations Manager Friedel, 13 seamstresses, two fabric cutters and one elastic cutter.

Since inception, the COVID Mask Force has donated masks to dozens of hospitals including Loma Linda University Health, homeless, 310 (20.4%) have a chronic health condition, and 346 (22.8%) were recently released from jail or prison.

“We have a human services crisis with some very high risk homeless populations, like our seniors. There has been a 95% increase of homeless persons age 55 and over since 2017, many of whom have life threatening health conditions,” said Kent Paxton, chair of the ICH Point-In-Time Count Committee.

“We must have long-term housing solutions for those who are most vulnerable,” added Paxton.

The collective responses to the PITC survey questions help shape 11 recommendations to end homelessness listed in the 2020 report.

1. Recognize the recent evolution of homelessness as a human services crisis, and use a wide

range of such services to mitigate the primary factors that contribute to persons languishing on the streets, such as aging, dealing with life-threatening and/or terminal health conditions, and declining mental health; 2. Create a County Strike Force Team composed of several County departments working in a coordinated effort to treat the multiple factors leading to the physical and mental health decline of homeless individuals; 3. Augment the Strike Force Team through partnerships with public and private organizations, including coordination with city homeless resources and health, mental health, aging, and family and children private sector service providers; 4. Encourage each city to adopt its unsheltered homeless count numbers as a baseline number, and based upon that baseline implement the following seven recommendations: 5. Increase the number of permanent supportive housing units to meet the needs of those homeless persons with disabling conditions who were counted within the city’s jurisdiction; 6. Set an annual quantifiable number of permanent supportive housing units to be developed based on the number of unsheltered chronically homeless individuals identified in the recent PITC, Homeless Management Information System (HMIS) and Coordinated Entry System (CES); 7. Prioritize, through the CES, the most vulnerable and frail persons who are languishing on the streets, including those with lifethreatening health conditions and/or who are aging on the streets;

“We never imagined this could be what it is today. To have so many wonderful women volunteer, people contribute and donate and open their hearts to our efforts and cause was amazing. Thank you to everyone involved in moving our efforts forward and getting us to where we are as a group today,” concluded Hernandez.

For more information, follow the COVID Mask Force on Instagram at @_themaskforce.

8. Completely align with a Housing First model and low barrier approach for chronically homeless individuals and families consistent with federal, state, and local approaches; 9. Completely align with a rapid rehousing and low barrier approach for non-chronically homeless individuals and families; 10. Align the current homeless services delivery system with a goal of ending homelessness among unaccompanied women; and 11. Increase Rapid Rehousing assistance, including a focus on households living in vehicles.

While the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development requires counties to conduct a Point- In-Time Count every other year within the last 10 days of January, San Bernardino County’s ICH conducts the count annually to better monitor and respond to the homeless trends and identify subpopulations that require specific attention.

San Bernardino County has been in the forefront in addressing homelessness. The Board of Supervisors created the San Bernardino County Homeless Partnership in 2007, and since the board’s initiative on homeless veterans was announced in July 2016, the County has permanently housed 1,295 veterans. Since January 2017, 463 chronically homeless people with mental health issues have been housed.

Aguilar announces $1.5 million in Coronavir us Relief Funds for Inland Empire Af fordable Housing

ep. Pete Aguilar announced that the Housing Authority of the County of San Bernardino (HACSB) received $1,547,064 in funding from the CARES Act, legislation passed by Congress to provide relief to Americans during the coronavirus crisis. The funding will help HACSB offset rental income lost due to the economic hardship caused by the virus, and nearly $40,000 is designated to purchase cleaning supplies and protective

equipment to help tenants and HACSB employees stay safe and prevent the spread of the virus.

“I voted for the CARES Act to make sure San Bernardino County residents have the resources they need to stay safe and make ends meet during this crisis. I’m proud to announce this funding to make sure our region continues to provide affordable housing options to our residents while implementing new safeguards to prevent the

spread of this virus,” said Aguilar.

“We are so grateful to Congress and the American tax-payers for the CARES Act funding. The safety of our residents and staff is our top priority! As good stewards of tax-payer dollars we will maximize the funding and pay for the urgent health and safety measures we’ve adopted as a result of COVID-19,” said Maria Razo, Executive Director of HACSB.

"I shared with our cadets that they would be in a unique position upon completion of the program," said Alder. "The job outlook is very favorable, and they will not be competing with other applicants as they normally would at this time of year. I shared this statistic with the students, and I believe it was a pivotal moment that motivated them to keep going, work hard and complete the program in the face of these circumstances."

In California between 2014 and 2024 it is expected that approximately 1,200 new Firefighters will be hired annually, with 100 of those each year in the San Bernardino and Riverside area.

Employment of Fire Fighters is expected to increase slightly faster than the average for all occupations. Labor Market Source: State of California Employment Development Dept.

"It truly is extraordinary how our administration, faculty, staff and students have worked together to be successful during these challenging times. I am so proud of how everyone pulled together.

Day drive-thr u g rocer y distribution event

T

Families in need can come to Hitch Burger on Sunday, May 10 at 2:00pm for this free grocery distribution. Hitch Burger and Project Boon do ask that you do not line up early and distribution is limited to ONE bag per car.

Rach G. was able to get muchneeded groceries on Easter and

was even able to share with her neighbors in need. “Thank you for your generosity. It was so organized and unbelievably emotional to receive this offering. We were able to share our groceries with neighbors so we all may be fed during this difficulty. Thank you for feeding us spiritually as well.

God bless you all.”

If you would like to help make this grocery distribution a success, Project Boon is accepting donations online at www.projectboon.org. A donation of just $15 is enough to help feed one family on Mother’s Day!
